Blue Jays Earn 2-1 Win Versus Astros
The Toronto Blue Jays beat the Houston Astros, 2-1, at Rogers Centre. Starting pitcher Vince McSweeney was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. Jake Barrett picked up the save, his 1st. Houston drops to 0-2.

Had Alfredo Salinas not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Salinas hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 2-1, in favor of the Blue Jays.

"Can't say enough about our pitching," said Salinas.
